- New to Senior Management
This programme is intended for people who have held junior and
middle management positions, and are now facing the challenge of
increased responsibility and wider perspectives. It seeks to
provide a more advanced set of skills and techniques aligned with
the needs of senior managers to undertake more complex activities
and projects within the organisation.
- The Human Project Manager
The Human Project Manager is designed to fill
the gap between knowledge of mechanical techniques (e.g. project
planning, networks, scheduling etc.) and the successful performance
of the task of Project Management in practice. It is designed to
enable delegates to gain a perspective on how they, and others,
think and operate in the project environment.
It tackles the mind-set of project managers in
order to enable to them to appreciate what is really important in
achieving success. It is suitable for either newcomers to the
discipline of project management, or more experienced project
managers feel there is still room for improvement in
performance.
The focus of the seminar will be for delegates
to use their own experiences and projects to gain powerful insights
into the way they can improve their project management skills. In
this way, they will immediately apply the training to existing
situations of importance to them.
- Problem Solving
This programme is designed to provide managers
with a set of practical tools and techniques for problem solving.
The programme is run by a practising management consultant who
makes use of these tools directly and indirectly on a daily basis.
Real life examples will accompany the demonstration of each
tool.
- Business with Other Cultures
The rampant growth of Globalisation has created
opportunities for both buyers of overseas goods and services and
the sellers in the overseas location. Many potential opportunities
are lost or fail as one or both parties unintentionally get into a
communications impasse.
In any business venture, good preparation is a
vital aspect of success. This programme is specially developed to
appeal to both business persons going into new markets and for
those in such markets hoping to attract buyers for their products
and services.
The course will be delivered by an experienced
consultant who has spent most of his professional life in a range
of overseas locations. The programme provides guidance on how to
build relationships. It also covers many of the commercial aspects
of doing business in other cultures.
- Successful Teams
Team working is the basic model for delivery of
results in high performing organisations. The high performance
Teams which constitute such organisations deliver results faster
and more effectively than alternative types of work groups. For
such Teams to work, managers and Team members need to develop the
necessary skills to manage and participate in such Teams.
Managing Teams, however, is complex, with many
possibilities for failure: different expectations, overlapping
functions and responsibilities and interpersonal friction. Teams
that are committed, managed and operating effectively deliver major
improvements on organisational effectiveness, productivity,
profitability and individual employee satisfaction.
This seminar concentrates on the skills and
techniques needed to create a dynamic Team with its own momentum.
This is a very practical course using case studies and best
practice.
- Qualitative Risk Management
The objective of this programme is to give
people in management positions a straightforward, practical and
powerful methodology to manage risk.
Most aspects of delivering results have to be
formally risk assessed and managed as a requirement of the
company's internal management system and/or for regulatory
compliance. Qualitative risk management covers the vast majority of
the requirements that managers encounter in the risk management of
department activities or projects.
We approach this topic from a broad perspective
such that the delegates have an overall understanding of the
businesses context for undertaking risk management, and how risk
should be addressed within the organisation.
There are several exercises so that all of the
delegates can get practical experience of undertaking a risk
assessment.
- Transition and Change
This programme is designed for organisations or
major parts of an organisation who are seeking to make changes to
their organisations which will involve change to structure and
behaviours.
The programme may be conducted as a precursor
to a change process within an organisation - this permits the
delegates to work thought the process.
